Jets forward Michael Frolik received a pretty nice pick-me-up after his team’s 3-0 loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday.

Chicago Blackhawks vice-president of hockey operations Al MacIsaac was waiting for him to present him with his Stanley Cup ring, which he earned last June.

“I wasn’t in a very good mood after the game because we lost but it’s something special and I was very happy that I could have it,” Frolik said Wednesday. “It feels, for sure, good. It’s a nice piece and it’s something that rewards the hard work that you put in for it.”

MacIsaac chose this game to bring the ring because he also brought one for Montreal Canadiens goalie coach Stephane Waite, who was with the Hawks last season.

Seven games into the season, Frolik has been one of the Jets most consistent forwards, but he’s not getting a ton of ice time and sees very little time on the penalty kill and power play.

Though he was an exceptional penalty killer with the Blackhawks, especially in the playoffs last year, Frolik is not being used in that role in Winnipeg.

“The system is a little bit different here from what we played in Chicago,” Frolik said. “I have tried to be in the meetings and learn the system and I’ve just been waiting for an opportunity, but they are sticking with the same players, the guys they had last year and the guys from this year who haven’t given up many goals.”
